Ollie Watkins

[LeeB]

You couldn't build a better centre forward for the way we play than Ollie.

You could build one that didn't mind having other strikers in the squad.

There's no actual evidence that this is the case though is there?

He said it himself.

Did he?

I imagine he was happy to be the clear first choice like anyone would be.

Rather than view it as negative in anyway, look at it as a positive. Footballers are supposed to become idle and complacent unless the squad is furnished with others to compete with, this guy turns into superman.

SE's unquenchable antipathy towards Ollie Watkins is one of my favourite H&V sagas.

If Ollie does go and we start plummeting down the table, SE should be chased from here with flaming dog shits on sticks.

And rusty nails in the sticks.

When I first met the great john e many moons back he was not having Gabby at all, and this was when he was in his pomp.

I thought it was funny but a bit mad at the time, but he was right.

If you wanted to replace Watkins you'd be looking at spending £100 million. And those sort of strikers only go to the three teams that finished above us, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Paris Saint Germain and, at a push, Man U and Chelsea.

He is one of only two irreplaceable players, along with Martinez, IMO.

Welcome back!!

[robleflaneur]

No, i can see the logic behind it. And if you ask me about replacements i think Patrick Bamford should top the list.

Nurse !

Exactly.Watkins (and Toney)would be first choice for Spain,Italy,Netherlands,Germany and Belgium etc.
Swap deal for S.American internationals such as Nunez,Richarlison or Jesus would be a serious downgrade.
Noticeable that Emery had no interest in his former player,Jackson.It's a very small pool of players that could improve on Ollie.Osimhen and Toney maybe ,Isak would cost more,Duran is possibly one for the future,who else ?

I would like to place on record that I think Watkins is a good player and a nice man. His partner gave my nephew some balloons for his birthday party. I'm pro-Watkins and pro-the Watkins family.

My point is, if we have to sell someone for a big chunk, he'd be the one I'd choose. Not least because I don't think he quite believes he belongs at the very top, and I think he's possibly just played the best season he'll ever play in his career.

Welcome back lad.

Feels like Paddy's let himself down here, not only himself but all of the sons and daughters of Shropshire.

Look who's back, and talking suspiciously large amounts of sense!

I agree with this. Basically, only way it's worth selling Watkins is if we get Osimhen in to replace him. And we ain't getting Osimhen.

Good to see you back, cd. Everyone else can fuck off.

I told you, Telford is evil.
